Hermitage High School

It sure would be nice if you had more than half of your reviews in the last decade. One review since the pandemic is pretty weak. Thankfully, it is a positive one. I imagine taking stock of schools in any location is a tough endeavor, but I would likely try to keep things up to date.

Hermitage High School was a great place for my son who is now serving in the US Navy. The JROTC program is class act along with staff. Note I was a very involved parent and my son participated in Soccer/Wresting/ Golf and swim team. The school is not perfect but does provide a young person a great perspective of the real world.

I would rate it a 7 out of 10

I graduated from Hermitage class of 2016. Overall I had an amazing experience at this school. My teachers were wonderful and I left the school equipped with a great education. School culture is down-to-earth, accepting, and appreciative of differences. Lots of school pride when it comes to football (the team is excellent and it was always fun to go to games). Like all high schools, Hermitage did have its problems with fights, theft, drugs, etc. We sometimes were stereotyped as a scary or rough school, but this is just not true at all. I met some of the most intelligent, hardworking, kind, funny, and interesting people I've ever come across while at Hermitage. A few things I would change about this school: more support for non-football sports, more AP classes to be offered (like Physics and BC Calculus), and more incentive/reward for teachers who choose to dedicate their time and energy to sponsoring a club or other extracurricular. On a final note - I was also in the Humanities program - it gave me a wonderful background in art history, music, and culture, and I am very appreciative of this unique aspect of my education. I wouldn't trade my experience at Hermitage for anything.

I been going to this school for a year and it is very great
